academic serVIces JOB RULES II Career Center helps out Senior Matt Reiss owed a debt of gratitude to the Career Center for the assistance he received on get– ting his resume together. Reiss, who received an internship from Fidelity, the old Alltel information services, said the Career Center helped him in acquiring the job. "I probably wouldn't have been organized to present my resume to Fidelity if I hadn't taken my resume to the Career Center," Reiss said. The Career Center was staffed and equipped to help students of most majors locate jobs and intern– ships. Rebecca Teague, Career Center director, said if students filled out resumes and completed inter– views, they would be happy with the results. "We are very thankful we have a process that is working - if the shtdents complete the process," Teague said. A part of the process was the recruiting ser– vice. Companies such as Acxiom, Cintas, Sherwin Williams, Alltel and the FBI recruited on campus this year. Students signed up for interviews in the Career Center and then hopefully found a job through the process. Teague said this was a helpful process because finding interveiws this year was difficult. "One of the hardest things to do right now is get interviews," she said. "It's a tough market." The Career Center also held job fairs for busi– ness, industry and government, education, and nursing students. The Graduate School Fair was Nov. 7 and featured more than 20 graduate schools and programs. Among the participants were the U.s. Air Force, Webster University, Wheaton Col– lege Graduate School and the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. Reiss said the services were helpfuL "The Career Center helps people help them– selves," he said. "They always have smiling faces and a willingness to help. They're fabulous." - Renee Lewis 1801/ academics John Bury, of the University of Tulsa Graduate School, talks with junior Ty Gentry about future graduate school possibilities at the Career Center's Graduate School Fair Nov. 7.
